Hi there. Is there a way to use the mouse to rotate an object that is currently in a group like the "First person shooter style control". I've tried to do this by making a "First Person Shooter camera " a child of another camera and using the action: change "active camera". It changes the child Camera however the Camera does not rotate the object, it seems to be locked. Even when the second "first person camera" is not parented to another camera, and the "change active camera" is invoked the camera moves the object but does not rotate it with the mouse.....bug? The idea is to be able to take control of a child object and use the mouse movements to control it. rotating it any direction. like a turret on a tank but not having to rotate the whole tank. Just curious if this can be achieved. thanks CF |

This can be easily achieve by scripting... I will probably write a behavior for this.... I have some work to do outside the town... Will try to create this behavior after 3-4 days.... Hope you won't mind waiting for this long...😇 |

Keep in mind that coppercube will ignore any behaviors on a camera that is not active. So you can't use this method |

Hey Just! can't thank you enough. We appreciate all your post and help on these forums. It's a small community and some of us are not good scripters, so every little help is much appreciated..thank you. CF |

here is the example ccb file with the action to rotate an object horizontally... this is a turret example you can rotate the turret using mouse and click to shoot.... if this is not what you want then please explain in more detail.. or a video reference will be fine.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/... |

Hi Just, Thank you for the great script. It's very cool. In detail what I imagined would be is to be able to move and rotate the sentry object in a direction and then be able to rotate the "Gun" either 180 degrees or 360 in the in the direction the "Sentry is facing" right now the Rotation is good only when the Sentry is moving back or forward but not when it is rotated. Also being able to rotate the "gun" a little bit vertically would be great. If it's to difficult to achieve , then please don't worry about it .  Here's video of what I mean https://youtu.be/rvVPm3dAbWQ here's the modified ccb file which is adjusted to rotate the sentry object with the left and right arrow keys, also you have to hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse to rotate the gun .https://drive.google.com/file/d/... |

Hmmm... Will try to solve that tommarrow...and yes it is also possible to rotate the gun vertically ..

I detached the "gun" from the "Sentry". The "gun" follows the "Sentry" now with "every second do something/change position of a scene node..relative to "Sentry" Both objects have the behavior "object or person controlled by key board" except the "Gun" has the moveSpeed set to "0". With the action "Rotate an object using mouse" Just_In_Case maybe there can be an action script that combines all this into something cleaner. check out the ccb file..don't forget to click and hold the right mouse button to rotate the "gun. https://drive.google.com/file/d/... |

haha  glad that you have figured out a way to do this by yourself.. as you are using a key pressed and variable to execute this action... it may not be possible to embed all this into the same action script...currently you have to use the same method or you can use java script by registering on frame event then changing position of your gun node to the position of sentry... it is a bit same as your current method... if you need any further help then please let me know.

Thanks for the help "just". I may need a little help with your script "Rotate object by mouse" can you add vertical rotation option to it in degrees possibly like the horizontal option you put in? An example it could shoot a flying enemy..or a sentry on a building at higher level? Thank you again for all your help. CF |

if you look into the script you will find that i have already comment out the code... all you need to do is to change the rotation on the x axis ... you can find the script file in your coppercube extensions directory name as Action_movewithmouse.js open it with any text editor and you will be able to edit it to make the object rotate vertically...

Thanks "Just" I have the script but cannot see where I need to change the rotation on the x axis. As I mentioned before I am not good with scripting and learning a little here and there. Can you tell me which line in the code I should change and into what? No worries if you do not want to post it, I can deal with only horizontal rotation. thanks CF |

Sorry, i somehow missed your post.... you have to change this line of code.. ccbSetSceneNodeProperty(this.Scenenode,"Rotation",rotation.z, degree + this.AdditionalRotation, rotation.z) change rotation.xto degree + this.AdditionalRotation and degree + this.AdditionalRotationto rotation.y this will make the turret goes up and down (vertically)
